Customer Reviews
Service was great. Loved Logan - super friendly kid. Burger was ordered medium and delivered....this. fried onions on burger were greasy and bland. Meatloaf was dry (even drowned in gravy) fries were unseasoned (as well as the burger). Overall very middle of the road and not super worth the money.
Food was excellent overall. The chicken tenders were juicy and well-seasoned, with a perfectly crisp coating that gave each bite a satisfying crunch. The fried mozzarella was a standout, golden on the outside with a great cheese pull (IYKYK). The loaded fries were rich and indulgent, topped with a generous amount of cheese, bacon, and sauce. However, they were on the thicker side, so if you prefer a crispier or thinner fry, it's worth asking for them well-done. The Fudge Brownie in the sundae dessert was one of the best I've had from a restaurant. Over all a great experience.
I can’t say much about the atmosphere- but, if you’re looking for food to take to the beach while grabbing beer- this is a great spot! I walked from Bethany Beach Sun Colony and decided to stop here to get the crab cake sandwich and cheeseburgers for the kids. The staff was super friendly, they put my order in and realized I was traveling with it- packed it nicely for the trip back. The crab cake sandwich was delicious! The cheeseburgers and fried shrimp were good also! We will be back to sit down and try some other things on the menu next visit.
Let me just say the food here is incredible, except for the steak with the surf and turf. I asked for it medium but it was very dry and half of it inedible. I went here twice. The first night, the server Mandy was incredible. She was so friendly and just absolutely incredible at her job. The second night, our server was Michael. I don't know if he just didn't want to be there but he was HORRIBLE! He even gave me a dirty look at the end of our dining experience and walked away without even saying a word. No thank you. No good night. He checked on us once. I had to flag him down to even get water and he had other people bring out our orders and check, even though it wasn't very busy.
The staff was super friendly. Our waitress was very kind and helpful with questions about the menu. I ordered the vegetable lasagna, it was big enough for two meals and also very tasty. Our party of 7 all loved their meals and didn't have any complaints. Also the grapefruit crush was very good, I loved the crushed grapefruit in the drink. The restaurant looks more modern too.
